[alfa] Re: Concorso Crowds/Traffic (you can beat them)

[DANRHODES@xxxxxxx]

We went, too, but we had the secret weapon, which I heartily  endorse...
We entered a car, (our white '59 spider veloce) for which we were  allowed 
early placement on Thursday between 1 and 5... drove up  with a friend to drop 
off the car about 4pm, no traffic, got to see a lot of  stuff that afternoon 
without ANY crowds.  
It gets better... your early entry gets you preferential parking for  another 
car for Friday, now you come in early and from an uncongested  entrance (we 
had no wait at all) to close in parking.  If that's still  not good enough, you 
get cheap entry for two, as well (can't remember how much,  but I think 
roughly two-for -one), and even free coffee at the  exhibitor's area...
All in all, worked great, we felt like we saw everything and were out  and 
over to the Quail by noon (how about 20 Ferrari 250 GTO's of the thirty  
something total, in one place?)  Second year for the  Quail, more/bettercars this 
year. It's pricey but great, more like a  really upscale garden party with a few 
of your best gazillionaire friends and  their cars than the Concorso mob 
scene.  I'm still on for both, though...  see you next year!
